Over looked Singers

I'm 35 and I remember when was a kid and my mother would play Shirley Bassey records and other 60's singers! I remember the power and the majesty that is her voice and this woman can belt it out. She is probably one of the most forgotten or should I say most over looked Singers of the 60's and 70's!



So I was looking through my Mothers old LP's that my father had kept after her death and I saw the Moonraker soundtrack and I was compelled to pick it up on CD so I made a trip to my local record store but no luck! So I put a search of the music on I-tunes and I found this compilation so I down loaded it!



This music makes me feel like a kid again when my mom played her records. This compilation does not get old and it has re-sparked my interest in Shirley Bassey. I must agree with most if not all the posts here this compilation is worth getting.



I did not realize that the Propeller heads made a re mix of one of her songs on there first CD. I am now a fan of remixed music. I was for the logiest time a purest on not remixing music but this CD has made me change my mind. The remixes on this CD have given this music and Artist new life: it's like opening an attic and airing it out and rearranging the boxes. I am utterly impressed with this CD.



By far "Spinning Wheel" is my favorite song but "If you go away" is assume! I am now on the hunt for remixed CD's of this caliber. If you are a fan on funk, soul, electronica and women who can belt it out this is the CD for you. If you are a purist don't bother but then again it could change the way you see the remix art form!

Shirley up to date...

I was ridiculed by my friends for buying this CD, until I made them listen to it. I have always loved Shirley Bassey, along with many other rock/soul/blues and jazz singers. This album takes the great works of Shirleys and brings them into a format for a newer generation to love and still wonderful for the people who loved the original works. As always Shirleys vocals are beautiful and the music it has been put to makes it a whole new experience. I reccomend this album to ANYONE who likes music.

The Best of Bassey's Stylings

When I told my friends about Shirley Bassey - The Remix Album, most of them had no idea who she was; then when I burst into the theme song from Diamonds are Forever, it finally hit them.

Shirley Bassey has graced us with several of the James Bond movie theme songs over the ages. The Remix Album rekindles the magic of these past hits with a new twist. I love Bassey's lounge cover "Light My Fire." by The Doors. I must admit that Bassey definitely has influenced my own personal vocal style.

For those of you who are Propellerheads fans and groups like them, you'll appreciate this album. This album is a definite must have--I never leave home without it.
